A member asked:
How can i make enlarged parotid glands go down without meds. i have sjrogrens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water: Drink a lot of water and suck on hard candies. This will thin the saliva and increase salivation which should allow the glands to decrease in size. Sometimes in sjogren's the enlargement is permanent.
